What a year! We cannot thank you all enough for your support and for helping us to assist thousands of people in need all across the country.

Things are different but we are still all in this together. Your help and support has been the only thing that allowed us to keep going.

Update and a huge thank you from Kelly. Thanks to your generosity we have helped Kelly and her children re settle into a new property far away from the abuse and trauma they were suffering.

The case has also had media attention and we will ensure Kelly’s privacy is maintained while answers ars found. Kelly is settling in well and sends a huge thank you to everyone who donated items and assisted in […]

Yesterday reminded me of how much I love the work we do with this charity and the incredible things we get to do and achieve. Yesterday we drove two and a half hours with a fully loaded trailer to help strangers who are now friends. Yesterday I was absolutely honoured to meet 8 of the most amazing, incredible and inspirational women I will ever meet in my life. These 8 women escaped the horrific and brutal regime of the Taliban. They fled their home country of Afghanistan and became refugees in ours. They spent days in hiding and crossed the […]

After a quick drop off earlier in the week it was great to get back to Puti on Kaurna Yerta (or Bush in the City) today with toiletries of shampoo/conditioner, soap, toothpaste and toothbrushes. This is a really innovative idea that brings service providers and government agencies together to a safe space where transient and homeless Aboriginal people are able to camp out, and access much needed services. There were lots of smiles about the place and so good to hear 16 people have already returned to country in the one week Puti on Kaurna Yerta has been open 🖤💛❤️ […]
